Networking & Content Delivery

In November 2024, Amazon CloudFront introduced CloudFront Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) origins, a security feature that allowed customers to deliver content from applications hosted in private subnets. In addition, we are now introducing cross-account support for Amazon CloudFront VPC origins, enabling network traffic flow between Amazon CloudFront and Application Load Balancers (ALBs), Network Load Balancers […]

Users wanting to protect themselves from Layer 7 (HTTP) DDoS threats can use the AWS WAF L7 Anti-DDoS managed rule group to detect and mitigate DDoS events in single digit seconds. The Anti-DDoS managed rule group has a default configuration that is appropriate for many applications and clients. However, there are clients that need special […]

Introduction In this post, we review how you can perform in-place application upgrades using Amazon VPC Lattice, while maintaining system reliability, security, and performance. Whether you are upgrading a classic three-tier web application, migrating from Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) to containers, or managing periodic Kubernetes upgrades, one challenge remains consistent: making sure of […]

Amazon CloudFront is a native AWS Content Delivery Network (CDN) service. CDNs provide web acceleration by using a worldwide network of edge locations closer to end-users, and caching content at the edge. However, CloudFront can do a lot more than that, with functionality at the edge to do geo-filtering, execute functions, perform AWS Web Application […]

Today we’re announcing the general availability of rewriting URLs and host headers natively on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Application Load Balancers (ALB). You can use this new feature to implement regex matches based on request parameters and rewrite both host headers and URLs before routing to your targets. Operating at Layer 7 (application layer) of […]

In this post, we dive into how at Silverflow we adopted AWS Cloud WAN and how we used standard DevOps practices, to manage our global network in a compliant and secure way.

This three-part series explores design patterns and strategies to enhance application resiliency through multi-cluster deployment on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). In this first part, we address a common challenge when using a Network Load Balancer (NLB) in multi-cluster environments. Organizations increasingly rely on Kubernetes—whether through Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) or self-managed clusters on […]
